According to sources in the Indian media, the fighting has now spread to Sohrab Goth, where the Pak Army and SIndh Police are vying for control of Al-Asif Square where the victors are planning to have an Afghani tikka and Kabuli pulao feast for lunch 😂 https://t.co/uc83VoEnc0

Things have been escalating fast:
This is completely true. IronMan is supporting his buddy Col Rhody while Captain America has his buddy Winter solider in police so he is supporting them.
